YZ 125/250 2006-2010 UFO Deep Purpulish Blue solid
to match the 2003 XT600E blue plastics which have the same color!

If it has the UFO sticker up front I just might peel it off..

so... I'm home!

Haven't been able to do about anything on the bike because the machinist I left the front suspension with to remove a broken screw went on to another island as his GF is having their baby....
So until monday I'm in a standby...

I went on to start dismantling the raptor carb and F-me.. there is a stuck fuel screw that has been f-ed up by the previous owner..it's completely stripped and I have to wait for that machinist friend to take it off by drilling it out or something...

Other than that, the handlebar YAMAHA grips, the K&N air filter+ adapter, Outwear water reppelant pre-filter, the Vito's jet kit have all arrived...

The Trailtech vapor dashboard has arrived BUT the computer is still in the US.. I'll have to ask my aunt to ship it to me or something...

Oh, and the raptor air inlet boots air still on the way..
The YZ front fender is exactly the same color as the rest of the XT's bodywork just like I predicted!

The exhausts are here, and I'll most likely be fitting the WR450 one.. although the Jardine one is muchmuch lighter that it's making me think...
plus... Today is my B-day! lol :D lalalalala

Hapy birthday mate....:D

bobthebiker 29 Jul 2010 08:06

happy birthday.

if you decide to sell one of those two pipes, let me know. I really wanna mess with my bikes noise and change it a hair.

03XT600E 29 Jul 2010 09:39

Happy Birthday Vando! :clap:

I did think the front fender might not be a good colour match for your bike as I took one out of the shop and held it next to my bike and it was not a good match.

$60 for the jet kit seems reasonable, here the dynojet kit costs £75 + shipping and I don't think you get so many parts to play around with.

bacardi23 29 Jul 2010 14:09

Thanks guys! :laugh:


bobby: If I decide to sell one of them I'll let you know ;)

03XT600E: I know what happened with that front fender you looked at..
Only the 2006 YZ125 and 250 -> until now have the deep purpulish blue one.
here is a link for the front fender I bought if you're still searching:

YAMAHA YZ 125 250 06-09 FRONT FENDER MUDGUARD UFO BLUE - eBay (item 260391468075 end time Aug-03-10 03:35:20 PDT)

Yer, the jet kit is really good! if the other guy had it on on his raptor I wouldn't be having this problem with the fuel screw... it doesn't have that knobble as the ones in the jet kit I bought...


I'll try to post some pictures today of the parts I got here...

what's not in the picture:
-fork cap speed bleeders
-turn signals LED relay
and the gear shift pedal is already on the engine! Fits really nice and doesn't hit anything!

Vando :)

bobthebiker 29 Jul 2010 20:18

Thanks man.

those things are going to make your bike VERY good looking. I know mine makes some noise, but its not terrible, although it could be quieter. but I'm growing to love making a bike my own. its WAY Too fun.

03XT600E 30 Jul 2010 09:04

Thanks for the info on the fender. Good price too.

Did you get the Yamaha grips? I could not see them in your pictures.

I went for the blue flame grips in the end and Acerbis hand guards and am pleased with them.
